Brief History:

St. Anthony’s Church, Pullani, has over 200 years of heritage, initially functioning as a branch of St. Xavier’s Church, Pullanguzi. The foundation stone for the present structure was laid during Fr. Dionysius’s tenure and construction was completed under Fr. S. M. Mariadasan, with formal consecration in 1972. The congregation was later elevated to an independent parish affiliated with Ilaviilai Parish. A newly constructed building was consecrated by Bishop Leon A. Dharmaraj on May 23, 2003. The parish serves approximately 200 families across 8 apostolic groups.
